Welcome! I'm using Monsters, Tea and Art Licensing to record some of the useful art licensing resources and info I've found. My background: children's book illustrator investigating art licensing as a second source of income. You can find out more about my work and current projects at DebbieOhi.com.

January 7, 2013: After some hard thought, I've decided to officially shut down this blog. I know I haven't updated it in a while, but I thought I should let you all know so you can remove it from your RSS feeds, etc.

Reason: I've decided that I need to find ways to make more time to read and create books.

I had great fun working on illustrating I'M BORED (written by Michael Ian Black, published by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers in Sept/2012) and am now working on writing and/or illustrating new book projects. In addition to my picture book projects, I also want to get back to my novel writing.

My challenge: I want to do too many things and am currently involved in too many projects. My solution: To prioritize and cull.

Apologies for the recent lack of posts here on the blog, by the way. Busy working on next round of illustrations for I'M BORED, a picture book written by Michael Ian Black (coming out from Simon & Schuster USA next year).

I've compiled a list of some of my favourite art licensing blogs in the blogroll along the right side of this page, and one of them is Joan Beiriger's Blog On Art Licensing. TONS of great info in Joan's blog, and it's all free.

Joan's recent post is a great summary of the 2011 Surtex experience, plus she also links to a number of attendee and exhibitor Surtex experiences online (including mine):
